Kaoru Mitoma
Brighton & Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma (28) was unavailable for the Seagulls’ 2-1 defeat after being ruled out through illness. The Japan international was not fit enough to feature in the squad, halting what had been a gradual push to regain full sharpness following a previous injury layoff.
